Baby Ben

Scott and Mary came over with Baby Ben to celebrate my birthday. Carson did really good at pointing and saying "baby" but it was a little to close at times when Carson tried to poke the baby. He hasn't quite mastered the art of being gentle yet. We're working on it!

Chillicothe

Carson and I ventured to Chilli on Saturday for Aunt Mary's baby shower. Things were great as he slept for the first hour then screamed/cried with no end for the rest of the drive. Needless to say, I was crying with him by the end. I just couldn't take it anymore. Once we got to Lou's (Mary's mom) house, things got better. Carson got some dry pants and new clothes in preparation for the shower. He was a total ham at the shower. He shared cake with Grammy, and he even posed with Aunt Mary. Too cute!


Robert and Lou (Mary's parents) were gracious enough to let us stay that night. Thank goodness! I don't think I could have handled another drive and the storms were really bad. It was uneventful, but a little disturbing since the house isn't baby-proofed and Carson is used to having the run of the house. I was so worried about him breaking something! His greatest enjoyment was saying "bye-eee" while opening and closing the door to the sunroom. Whatever keeps him happy!


Carson did well during church, where he wanted to be held by Uncle Sott the whole time, then started to get fussy and tired as we dropped off the swing at Uncle Scott and Aunt Mary's. Here goes the car again... Carson was asleep before we left town then woke up to eat lunch at McD's downtown then cried after that. Ugh! We got home 30 minutes later and he laid down with Cj. Carson ended up sleeping 2 hours! He really was a tired baby!

Uncle Scott, Aunt Mary, and Dr Baby came to visit

Uncle Scott and Aunt Mary came in town over the weekend to pick out some counters and flooring for their new home, as well as making a run to Babies R Us and Bass Pro Shop. I bet you can guess who wanted to go where...

Anyways, they came over for breakfast then it was time to get ready and head out! Aunt Mary, Dr Baby, Carson and I headed to Babies R Us while Uncle Scott, Tanner, and Cj went to Bass Pro. Oh, Baby! We had a good time playing with the strollers, carseats, and highchairs.

Lunch was the next priority, so Chipotle was our next stop before home. Note to self: never keep a pregnant woman hungry or thirstyl. Believe me - I know better. I remember how that was. It can get quite ugly. :)
Uncle Scott and Aunt Mary left to go to their flooring appointment while we got Carson to lay down for a nap before Tanner's soccer game. I still don't undestand why he fights sleep - a nap is a wonderful thing!

Dinner was fun at Houlihan's, as Carson kept everyone quite entertained.
Aunt Mary and Carson snuggled as he had his bottle before bed, then crashed on her since she has the perfect Dr Baby bump.
